Speaking of the win, Palki Sharma Upadhyay, Executive Editor, WION news says, “It is a great honour to be recognised for the work we do. At Wion News, we don’t indulge in the high-octave, biased news reportage that most other channels seem to follow. This award is a testament to the ethics and standards we hold ourselves to at WION News. I am grateful for the recognition and hope to continue building WION news to greater heights,”
